Hello,

First of all I want to say thanks to all developers and everyone involved. All this work is truly amazing.

Then, I'd like to say that while I'm new to CM7 and MTD I have been keeping up with the threads here and there (I read this one entirely) and have been using custom ROMs since SRF 1.1.

I noticed a couple of things that I would like to bring up in case they are bugs or an oversight on my part, that I hope someone has answers for.

Thank you in advance.

* I read on the original CM7/MTD RC0 (without Wimax) that some users reported not being able to send/receive MMS while on wifi. I am too experiencing this. Outgoing MMS will get stuck sending and incoming MMS is received with a download option but will not download unless I go back to mobile data.

I also noticed that as soon as I try to send an MMS on wifi, the phone seems to try switch to mobile data for a second (the 3G icon is displayed along with the wifi one).

Even though I saw reports of this, I did not see it as a confirmed bug or confirmed that that is the way it's supposed to work. Does anyone have additional information on this?

* I also noticed a new behavior on RC0-Wimax that I did not notice on RC0. When I hit the power button to bring my phone back on from sleep/standby the capacitive buttons light on for just a second, then they turn off by themselves until I click/push one of them.

Was this somehow introduced with the RC0-Wimax build? I tried looking for a setting I was missing, but couldn't find anything related. Just for reference, I flash RC0-Wimax over RC0 only wiping Cache and Dalvik.

* Finally... I left my house this morning and turn off wifi (as I usually do). When I got to work I noticed that my 3G and signal bars were white. I saw activity, but they were white, and I could have sworn they were green before.

So I went into Airplane mode, and then back... And now they're green again. What is the difference between colors? Roaming, actually connected to the network? I tried reasoning it, but the phone worked the same while the icons were white or green.

Again, thank you for any possible information. I know the post is lengthy, but I also know that lots of users don't provide enough information and expect everyone to figure out their issues.

PS. I'm on the stock kernel that comes with the ROM and the EI22 modem.

The white icons mean you aren't signed in to Google services. Open something like Gtalk and they will go green again
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Yup. Same here. I put a post up earlier with a log cat too.

I spent some time last night trying to nail down why. I did a fresh install of CM7.2_RC0_w/WiMAX and found Ti will do individual app installs until I apply my PRO license at which point I can't do batch OR individual app restores (regardless of the method Ti uses). I went back to nandroid and hoping a future release will fix this issue.

It didn't matter if it got my PRO license from market or be clearing Ti app data so it restored info from SD card. Once it picked up the license something changed app behavior and borked restore capability on this specific CM7.2 release.

Most of my ringtones and notification ringtones are listed twice when selecting a ringtone from the menus. Any thoughts on how to fix?

Also anyone know if selecting 'national data roaming' is good/bad/irrelevant? I asked earlier and one person said they had it selected, but still unsure if its needed.

Thanks!

Investing because I have a similar problem with Vlingo. When I activate it, my first request will work with the Bluetooth headset. Any further request use the speaker phone. I was starting to think it was a Vlingo compatibility issue, but it still maybe a Bluetooth issue.

IDK if its just me but when my battery is low it will die a little after 15% battery but i an turn it back on and see that theres 12-15% left . anybody know why it dies early .. do i need to calibrate my battery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
I have a minor issue I am wondering if anybody else is having.

Upon flashing this updated RC0 with WiMAX, my soft key backlights are doing some funky things. When pressing the power button to wake the screen, the soft keys light up like normal, and then quickly turn off. Then when I unlock the screen, they stay off until one of the buttons is pressed.

Normally, and in the previous release, you would press the power button to wake the device, the soft keys come on and say on until the screen times out. With the latest release, not even touching the screen will light up the keys, it requires a physical press of the soft key.

Anybody else having this issue? I've wiped and re-installed several times. I've even gone back to the previous release to make sure I'm not crazy;)

Ghost Voicemail

Since the original RCO, I seem to have a ghost voice mail which says to *86 but that is not a valid sprint code... I use google voice as my VM provider and have not found a way to get rid of this....

Any help?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Here's my question Okay: If the 4G toggle button in Stock RFS For The Epic Works Why Not Take that framework and redesign it so it works for MTD on CM7? Or take an aosp version and redesign it? I mean shouldn't it not be that hard to port a widget or toggle button? Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
I just tried it - was on EH17, odin to EC05 (worked), then update to EI22 did not work, with message:

script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /sdcard/modem.EC05toEI22.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

So I can confirm it does not work. I was able to do this on the bml version previously.

About to update to wimax but has anybody tried out the new kernels with wimax? Just wondering if its stable. I have everything set up perfectly from the previous builds and going to do a nandroid so Id like to know beforehand.

Also does anybody know how the hell I delete old messages? I call my VM and there isnt a single option for deleting old ones
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Samurai bushido3 is stable and I haven't tried the shadow kernel but they are not recommened by the great cm devs! If you install a different kernel DO NOT POST KERNEL RELATED BUGS!

Edit- and honestly its probably better to ask if a kernel is stable for a rom that doesn't recommend using it in the respective kernel thread...
[Epic 4G Android Development] liquiddetox:
If you restored a version of sprint vvm, there is an option to clear the counter in settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
I'm not sure what you mean by ghost voice mail but perhaps these settings will help.

Settings > Call settings > Voicemail settings > Change *86 to your phone#

Phone > Preferences > Voicemail Handler > Google Voice

I learned a while back that if your tethering its best to declock your phone for the duration of the tether. Will help on battery life and heat. I have gotten away with 200mhz, but my best results are at 400mhz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
Perhaps you have a copy of them on your SD card or elsewhere?

National data roaming is good. Enables you to use data on other PCS networks when Sprint signal is not available. Check your plan, if it's like mine, data roaming is free.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
The issue with the video came in when going from lower light to more light, or vice versa. The video recorder wouldn't adjust. Example; switch to video when you're looking at the keyboard. Then move it up to the monitor. The monitor will look super washed out. This isn't an issue on any TW ROMs or CM9 that I'm aware of.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dratini:
WiMax/4G doesn't work for me. What am I doing wrong? I know the widget doesn't work, but doing it in settings won't work either. Does the shadowkernel destroy 4G or something?

I'm very confused as no one else has mentioned it, and it works on CleanGB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Do not post here if running a custom kernel. It says it in the op.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Marcus is right, if using a different kernel than what's provided stock, you need to take your issues there. However, I used CM7 with the shadowkernel as well and my 4G worked fine. I'm guessing you may have a bad flash.

By reading the thread?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Login to voice.google.com and on the main screen where you merged your number, uncheck the box that says something about a text with voicemails. That should take care of it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
DO NOT POST HERE IF RUNNING A CUSTOM KERNEL!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayharper08:
As Marcus stated, if you're running a custom kernel, do not come to this thread asking what is going on with something. You need to go to that kernels thread and ask. Has nothing to do with his rom.

...end sarcasm...

Sorry...couldn't help it...I seriously start laughing seeing some of these posts! Keep up the great work devs...still the best daily driver going! My donation is coming this weekend, now that taxes are coming back!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dratini:
I'm asking because the stock kernel on rc0 didn't work, and neither did the 43 nightly. 4g tries to connect but it fails. It goes to connecting to disconnected.

Is there a log I can submit?
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
Most likley service related in you area. Mine does that once in while. I am right on the service line for 4g. Its been doing that since 4g was working. My opinion is its a Sprint problem, not the kernel. 4g has worked for me on every nightly since they got it working. And I have flashed every nightly up to 41 so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I don't have 4g. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dratini:
I was in a 4g area, what it does is quickly loop through connected and dsconnected. I have no idea what's wrong.

If this isn't a kernel probled, what do you suggest I do?

I'm on EL30 modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmingee:
I ran into this while trying to move from ACS Frozen 1.2 to this ROM. All attempts to restore apps failed, even after trying every troubleshooting tip I could find to fix that issue. A search shows no resolution to this issue, and nightly 5 is no longer available, so I guess I will wait for RC1 (assuming that's coming) and see if it is resolved there. I really don't want to have to reinstall every app on my phone...

Thanks,

audio distortion issue

so i havnt been on this rom in a while i left because theyre was a really bad audio distortion issue bcuz of generic audio drivers does anyone running the latest nightly know if the audio dstortion issue was fixed youll notice if it isnt because at full blast (headphones) the bass it very distorted i recommend listention to 6 foot 7 foot best song to test because of all the mid ranges and lows

Its definately better than cm9, however there is a little faint staticky resonance of your own voice, but its not even that annoying.

Sent from my CM7.2 OG Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I dunno, I think the voice quality on CM9 is far better than CM7. The last nightly I used I think was 41, but it may have been closer to 38. I went on CM9 this past Friday night, still running Alpha2 but I'm about to put Alpha3 on right now.

If the camera/video on CM7 was halfway decent, I'd go back to it in a heartbeat considering the battery life on CM7, IMO, is far superior to CM9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
On alpha 2 was the only time people asked me what's wrong with my phone lol. Not everybody though it seems landlines are definately worse than cell phones

No mobile service.

I've been using this rom for a few days now and everything has been fine. I was just on a phone call and as soon as I ended it, I lost whatever connection I had to my mobile service. I can't make calls anymore or send/receive texts. I'm on Sprint, if that helps. The signal icon just shows a steady 2 bars, not going up or down. Could anyone help? Thank you in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dratini:
Does it say call has been lost when you exit? Try triggering airplane mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phdeez:
Anyone have problems with 3G data when wifi is enabled but not connected? In previous ROMs I would leave wifi on while in the car, and then once I get to home/work I would pickup wifi. I've noticed it twice and following reboots that if I have wifi enabled and I'm not actually connected to an AP that I get no 3G service (even though there are 3G icons on the top- but no flickering arrows). I normally don't try 4G since if I'm going to pull down the status bar I just disable wifi to get some data action.

I'm on nightly 02122012 (41?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
That happens some times to me but not every time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngnick09:
Is there anyway I can download the kernel for the current cm7 stable rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Vizzo:
You can always just reflash the ROM itself. The kernel is included in each nightly package. Reflashing won't change any of your settings or delete anything. Some suggest to reflash gapps too for good measure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngnick09:
Ok, thanks a lot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
I have been playing with CM9 the past 2 weeks, and I'm coming back to CM7. Not because I don't like it, or it's too buggy. But it's more like when I had my TP2 and I'd try 6.5 or 6.5.x out, and go right back to running a clean 6.1 rom - it's faster, and better battery life. Yeah, some of the features are kinda cool, but at the end of the day, the phone just seems to work better with the older rom.

The only thing I'm going to miss is Chrome :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmingee:
In the end MyBackup came to the rescue here. It worked where Titanium did not for restoring. The odd thing is that I restored Titanium with MyBackup, which included my schedules, and last night it did batch backups without incident, at least according to the timestamp on all of my backups. Most people had said ANY operation in Titanium would hang for them, including backups.

Anyway, the only remaining issue is that my phone now has the same issue with my 2Wire AP (UVerse) at home that my tablet does - it will randomly fail to secure an IP address. The only thing that seems to fix it is toggling Wifi off and on in the router. Neither device has a problem with my work Wifi AP, so it's probably a router setting somewhere. If anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them, but it's not a deal-breaker. I never saw that behavior on Syndicate Frozen 1.2, but I really wanted to migrate to a newer OS base.

Also, the 4G toggle on the status bar appears to do nothing, but I can enable 4G by going into settings. As seldom as I use it, it's not a big deal, but it's odd...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
So, is it done yet? Seems pretty close as completely stable as I have ever seen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Okay this is getting on my nerves and no offense to you specifically...the nightly builds are 100% stable. Nightly builds are just features that being added to cm7 as a whole, not to ou device specifically. Just because there isnt a build called a "stable" release doesnt mean this rom isnt stable in any way. CM7.2 will never really be completely done because theyre always adding features to it. So everyone, please stop worrying about this not being stable.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Right. I don't thnk any CM build is ever really "done" so to speak. Continuous improvement is the corporate jargon for something like this.

For me personally, the only thing holding me back from CM7 all the time is the camera, specifically the camcorder. If I could take the camera from CM9 and put it in CM7, I wouldn't leave my Epic for quite sometime.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Sorry folks, I should explain. I personally have been with CM7 and 9 since the beginning but my wife is tentative about straying from a stock rom. I was merely seeking reassurance for her.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I don't know how technical your wife is, but I wouldn't put my wife on anything CM. Too different from stock or even stock rooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
My opinion is that it would be a matter of what she does with the device and if there is anything about CM that she would benefit from. By benefit I mean it offers something that she would want that is to her missing from what the device offers out of the box and only available by switching to CM. Remember custom ROMs aren't for everyone and most people are completely satisfied with the stock out of the box stuff and installing apps from the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
I went through this with my wife when we had palm pre's. I had mine all modded up, and she liked some of the stuff my phone could do. But, when it came down to it, she wasn't up for keeping up with the mods, let alone trying to explain to her the issues with alpha and beta builds, and why my phone crashed at least once a day.

So now she has a stock iphone 4s, and I have my modded Epic, and we are both happy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brooksyx:
ha my girlfriend won't let me touch her fascinate with a 10 foot pole. I tell her all about the cool features I can add she is like I don't care my wallpaper is cute and a can text. Haha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Okay I have my answer. I will give her CleanGB mtd unless others have suggestions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That is what I put on my GF's phone. Good choice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmingee:
Just to close the loop on this, setting up a static IP address for my phone on my router appears to have resolved the issue. Now that I have VVM installed and running thanks to another post on the thread, about all that's left to figure out is why my battery life is so much worse than with Syndicate Frozen. My son and I (he has the exact same phone) strongly suspect it is related to the screen coming on when the camera button is hit (which is incredibly easy to press), which I really don't understand, but could easily happen a lot in a pocket.

I've also played around with the WIFI sleep policy, because I'm not sure which is best (never off or when screen turns off). If it falls back on 3G in the latter case, clearly that's bad, because it uses a lot more battery. But if it keeps the phone from sleeping in the former case, it is probably worse.

Anyway, I'm off to search for clues about that next, but so far, I am extremely impressed with the level of configurability in this ROM - great work!

Looks like I need to go to at least nightly 14 to get the camera button to stop waking the phone. I thought RC0 was newer than that, but I see I had my timelines mixed up.

I have this rom on my wifey's phone she likes it so far. But she told me her camera app goes black when she opens it and only works if she switches from video back to camera. Also her .com button on her slide out keyboard dosen't work. To me these are trivial things but for her its like the end of the world lol. Is there a way to fix these two so called issues?? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
I believe the camera issue has been introduced through the nightlies but the .com button isn't something that will be fixed. The button uses the tw framework to work.

[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
I assume that like the standard keys the custom keys such as this one simply have a value associated with them that is used by programmers to work with. For example a custom routine to move a character in a game when the wasd keys are pressed. In the same manner the custom key should work the same and only needs a routine coded that will do the same thing it does with the stock ROM. It would look something like this in mostly english terms:

on key press 1234 {

//lines of code that replicate the stock functionality

}

1234 would be an example of the numerical value associated with the key for use in coding.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
I think editing CM like this is against the rules. Since CM doesn't include a .com key in its keymap it won't ever work.

Its open in the sense that you(assuming you know how and what your doing) could take the source, compile, and modify as you wish.

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
I hardly know anything about android development but did a little searching and found the sym key is mapped as tab currently for CM9. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the fn part of the key. Android reference for key event lists the sym key. I don't know how that comes into play with CM. The keymap is open source as far as I can tell. So I see no reason why it couldn't be modified officially or by the user. Bottom line I see no reason it couldn't be added. It probably hasn't been simply because not every device may have it or nobody really seen the need to bother with it because there was no significant user demand for it or something along those lines.

Lol, yes kids, open source doesn't mean you can include running your mouth as you please.
